Oil derricks and Corinthian columns : the industrial transformation of the Oklahoma State Capitol grounds

A. refutes David Lowental's suggestion that the oil derricks around the State Capitol are an example of American's valuing landscape function over form. He uses archival materials and literary accounts to show how oil drilling came to include
the Capitol grounds as Governor Marland, a former oil tycoon, insisted in 1936 that the State exploit the oil in there. After drilling began there, an election was held to include the Capitol grounds in the oil zoning of the Oklahoma City Oil Field. In 1980s
the oil wells there began to run dry, but eight are preserved largely as a symbol of the importance of oil and natural gas to Oklahoma. - (SLD)
Plattentektonische Aspekte in der Erdolgeologie. (Aspects of plate tectonics in oil-geology)
Analysing the genesis and distribution of oil and gas and their deposits under the aspect of New Global Tectonics, so it is possible to see many new problems, which are necessary to solve by oil-geologists in future. In this case it is a problem
for oil-geologists to investigate the influence of geothermic processes on the horizontal movements of separate plates and on the metamorphism of organic matter in oil and gas. (HL).

America's earliest oil discovery dates from 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The A. reconstructs the early landscape changes wrought by petroleum extraction there. - (DWG)
The second-tier foreign exchange market as a catalyst to non-oil exports
It seems unlikely that non-oil exports can be stimulated, because of the stagnation of the agricultural sector and the high cost of production in the manufacturing sector. Luxury imports should be restricted and indigenous technology developed
Erdol-Erdgas-Geologie und Plattentektonik. (Oil and gas geology and plate tectonic)
Several processes of oil and gas geology are studied in connection with plate-tectonical processes. Thus it becomes clear, that there is a distinct difference between the Paleozoic development of the Europian plate and the Mesozoic development. (HL).
